Lincoln certainly would have had a more moderate policy.

Which, by analogy with the penecontemporaneous Liberian project, and in the face of unconquered yellow fever, would have resulted in the deaths of millions of manumitted slaves in the jungles of Central America.

Lincoln's death saved Lincoln's rep, and his place on Rushmore.
